After coming out of Old Man Qian's house, Jin Jiu saw that Zhao Ran seemed a little lonely, and couldn't help but asked: "Abbott, is there anything uncomfortable?"
Zhao Ran replied: "Some people could have embarked on a prosperous road and have a different life, but without the opportunity, everything was out of the question, and they were confused until their old age..."
Jin Jiu seemed to understand: "Abbott, are you talking about old man Qian? This old man always sees things clearly and responds quickly to everything. He can always remember clearly what he told him without having to say it a second time... In the past two years, I still
I once thought of asking him to come to the temple to help, and he would be treated like Mr. Xu, but I didn't expect that his wine shop would prosper so quickly. Before I had time to tell him, he had no worries about food and clothing... But I didn't know what the opportunity the abbot was talking about was.
What?"
Zhao Ran shook his head without explaining much, and continued to visit the next family to express condolences, but then he stopped paying attention to those people who were over forty years old. After this age, there is no point in practicing even if you have all the qualifications.
, if we find another one like this old man with money, it will only make people sigh.
In the last few days of Jiajing's 20th year, Zhao Ran had been spending his time visiting homes and condolences. This time he sped up and was able to visit more than a hundred villagers.
After Zhengdan and before Lantern Festival, Zhao Ran could not continue to check the bones in Junshan. During this period, it was the busiest time in the Taoist Shifang Jungle. They were busy organizing various fasting rituals. As the abbot,
, naturally we can’t distract him.
The influence of Wujiyuan is much higher than that of Junshan Temple, so Zhao Ran will definitely host the fasting rituals at Wujiyuan. He simply divided the work with Liu Zhiguang of the Supervisory Academy, and Zhao Ran chose the three most grand fasting rituals, except for these three, which he personally
Except for hosting the show, everything else was left to Liu Zhiguang.
Of course, he also took a day to go to Guyang County to attend the inauguration ceremony of Huiminji Medical Hall. In order to wait for his time, the celebration was postponed three times, which allowed Zhao Ran to enjoy the benefits of being a county
The fun of the abbot. The fasting ceremony at the celebration was hosted by Gao Gong Zhihe Xiachang. For this key project in Guyang County, Fang Zhihe did his best. After the ceremony was completed, Fang Gaogong was already sweating even though it was the cold winter season.
Sheer shirt.
Huiminji Medical Hall will be officially opened after the Lantern Festival. Zhao Ran does not need to work hard for it. He is now the abbot of Wujiyuan. The specific affairs will be shared by Chen Zhizhong and others. He does not need to run around as before.
.
After the Lantern Festival, Zhao Ran continued to visit and express condolences. This time, the title was changed to wishing people in their old age, but the essence was the same, and the gifts he sent were the same. At the end of the first year, Zhao Ran found another person who had the ability to practice.
conditional person.
This person is a seamstress from the village at the northern foot of Xiaojun Mountain. She has good qualifications but poor bones. Of course, if you really want to introduce the Immortal Sect, it is not impossible. Just put some effort into resetting the bones. But when Zhao Ran asked
When I found out how old she was, I found out that she was already thirty-eight years old this year. This age was really embarrassing. Even if she entered the path of immortality, the road would still be bumpy.
This lady was a cheerful person, with a kind heart and a quick tongue. She would talk without stopping and chatter endlessly. Zhao Ran stayed at her house for three sticks of incense before retreating in defeat.
After this case, Zhao Ran adjusted the age limit again. After weighing it, he simply used Senior Brother Yu Zhiyuan as a lesson and set the age of men under thirty-five, while for women, it was directly lowered to thirty.
Later, Zhao Ran once again found a qualified person, but this person had no bones. As long as such a person passed bone setting, he could also meet the conditions for practice. But it is a pity that this person is a scoundrel and has done sneaky things.
I don’t know how many times I have made no big mistakes but kept making small mistakes. There is definitely something wrong with my character.
According to Lu Jin's records, this person was a key surveillance target. He had been punished by the Junshan Temple no less than six or seven times, and had been locked up in a small black room three times. Zhao Ran felt uneasy no matter how much he thought about such a person.
It is too unreliable for people to introduce Lou Guan.
Zhao Ran sat at the stone table in the temple courtyard, looking at the falling snowflakes in the sky, feeling very disappointed. After working for more than a month, checking the qualifications of thousands of people, he got such a result. After all this effort
What a waste!
Thinking about the past two months, Zhao Ran shuddered. He performed hundreds of Taoist techniques every day and was exhausted. In the end, he no longer cared about saving money and used the Zhuhuo Lingguo to support himself. It was really extravagant.
Bundle.
Now time has been wasted, and a lot of Zhuhuo Lingguo has been consumed, but the harvest is almost nothing - well, it's not that there is no harvest, at least I have mastered the Taoism of Observation, and I no longer need to touch stupidly all over the body.
, you can judge the general situation by just touching your knuckles with your fingers.
What to do next? Should we continue to cast a net to find needles? Just thinking about it, Zhao Ran felt a headache.
While he was thinking about it, Qu Fenghe came in with a plate: "Abbott, these are the cakes that several families just sent over, saying they were thanking the abbot for his kindness."
Zhao Ran came back to his senses, nodded, motioned Qu Fenghe to put the plate down, and said warmly: "Fenghe, you have been coming to Junshan Temple for a year and a half, right?"
Qu Fenghe said with a smile: "Thanks to the abbot's care, I have lived a very comfortable life in the past year and a half."
Zhao Ran said: "You have changed a lot, and I take it into consideration."
Qu Fenghe sighed: "Looking back now, my life in the past was really in vain. I was really ignorant."
The transformation of this rebellious young man was led by Zhao Ran, and the effect now seems to be very good. He still has a bit of Zhao Ran's past appearance, so Zhao Ran plans to give Qu Fenghe a regular job after the year.
Grant him a true Taoist ultimatum.
Suddenly he remembered that he had not seen Qu Fenghe's qualifications yet, so Zhao Ran changed his mind and used the Taoism of Observation...
Ouch! This young man turns out to be extremely qualified!
Zhao Ran was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was really stupid. He was looking at others under the dark lamp. Why didn't he take a look at Qu Fenghe earlier?
Zhao Ran took a deep breath, calmed down his slightly excited mood, and motioned to Qu Fenghe to stretch out his wrist and clasp it with two fingers... Zhao Ran sighed, feeling helpless.
Taking back his hand, Zhao Ran asked: "Do you want to enter the Immortal Sect to practice?"
Qu Fenghe stared, suspecting that he heard wrongly, and said: "Abbott, were you looking at my qualifications and abilities just now?"
"you know?"
"When I was a kid, there was a Taoist priest who looked at me like this and said that I had no chance to be a celestial being."
"I have a way. You have excellent qualifications, but your weak point is your bones. But I can apply to Huayun Pavilion for you to apply for bone setting. Are you willing?"
Qu Fenghe jumped three feet high: "Abbott, are you serious?"
Zhao Ran smiled and nodded: "Go and invite your adults tomorrow."
Qu Fenghe ran out: "I'm going now!"
Looking at Qu Fenghe who was hurriedly going out, Zhao Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now he could explain it to his teacher and senior brother. As long as his bones are straightened, with this young man's qualifications and character, he may still be able to practice in the future.
Worth the wait.
Zhao Ran thought for a while and simply called the people from Junshan Temple over one by one. Starting from Jin Jiu, to Lin Yuwen, and then to Lu Jin, none of them had any talent for cultivation. He was not discouraged and continued reading. When he saw Song Xiong
